well done Ben its all a learning curve but glad the axe plays better (was it a tele kit from memory ?)
As DB always tells me cheap tools give cheap results so worth spending a bit more on a fret crowning tool.

yeah it was a tele thinline. i figured it wasnt worth splashing out on a better tool cos i didnt think id do more than 1 kit, but i think it would deffos be worth having for in the future. hopefully once my tax return comes through ill step up and get another kit to start!
Ben I don't think anyone on the forum has stopped at 1 kit hahhaha Warning the more kits you build the more GAS you get haha

Yeah the builder was was Ben from Crimson guitars. Definitely recommend this method, I've used it on a leveling beam as well as for holding down routing templates and it's just too easy, I love it!!Originally Posted by dave.king1
As I always say, make do with what you've got. It would be great to have a shed full of Stew Mac gear, but unfortunately impossible for most.
yeah that was the technique i went with in the end. worked a treat. the crimson guitars instructional vids are great
Another way is to use Artists spray adhesive.
A can will last for years and is much easier than tape and CA glue.
Just spray the paper though, or you may have problems getting the paper off......
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
